Method

Broth Preparation

Prepare the Pork Broth

In a large pot, add the pork bones and cover them with 3 liters of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Skim off any scum that forms on the surface.

Add Flavorings

Add soy sauce, mirin, salt, shiitake mushrooms, garlic cloves (smashed), and ginger (sliced) to the pot. Simmer on low heat for at least 12 hours, stirring occasionally.

Strain the Broth

After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot to remove solids. Keep the broth warm on low heat.

Noodles & Toppings Preparation

Cook the Ramen Noodles

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

Prepare Chashu Pork

If not pre-cooked, slice the chashu pork into thin pieces. Ensure it is heated through before serving.

Prepare Soft Boiled Eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.

Slice Green Onions

Chop green onions into thin slices for garnish.

Assembly

Assemble the Ramen Bowl

In a large bowl, add a portion of ramen noodles, ladle hot broth over the noodles, and arrange slices of chashu pork on top. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on the side.

Garnish

Sprinkle sliced green onions, drizzle chili oil, and top with sesame seeds. Add nori sheets on the side.

Serve

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your spicy tonkotsu ramen!
